It applies a systematic software engineering approach to patient/subject-specific meshing and assignment of material properties.
In these numerical simulations, both effects of varying the assignment of material properties (depending on the position of neutral axis) and of considering different thermal expansion coefficients were taken into account, and some conclusions were drawn on their influence on mid-span deflection evolutions.
Therefore, in the assignment of material properties for all the cases, 50 discrete material bins were considered.
The assignment of cultivated materials and varieties from PAS BG to different subpopulations appeared to be rather uncorrelated with the geographical origin of accessions.
Some of these showed measurements distinct from both Hipposideros species, rendering the assignment of the material doubtful; Samonds referred it to H. sp. cf. H. commersoni.
The assignment of postcranial material of "Proneusticosaurus" [52] to Cymatosaurus, as suggested by several authors, remains rather hypothetical [1], [3], [53], [54], and no humerus is preserved with this specimen of "Proneusticosaurus".
However, taxonomic assignment of paleoanthropological material (teeth) from this site, as well as the relationship between the Kostenki industry and the earliest dated Upper Paleolithic remains in southern and central Europe, remains unclear [13].
Furthermore, it allows assignment of FFPE material of newly diagnosed patients to molecular clusters.
The assignment of proper material properties is also a fundamental step to ensure predictive accuracy.
Another subject considered is related to the methods used for the identification and assignment of patient-specific material properties to tissues and boundary conditions.
Two main methods of material property assignments in the current literature on craniodental FEA are (1) assigning properties of a single material to the entire model, or (2) assigning multiple categories of materials based on Hounsfield Units (HU), the gray values representing densities in CT image data.
